The site is abutted by: agricultural land to the north; Flitwick Moor and Folly Wood to the east; Greenfield Road to the south. The southern section of the western boundary is abutted by existing residential properties beyond which lies Maulden Road, while the northern section of the western boundary is abutted by Maulden Road itself. A Site Location Plan is included as Appendix A. 1.3 The proposed development on the site comprises up to 200 residential units, a health and social care hub and a mixed use employment development.

  • PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES by Alan R
    NEGLECTED INSECTS IN BEDFORDSHIRE Beds Natural History Society Conference PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES by Alan R. Outen & Ian K. Dawson PSOCOPTERA Barkflies and Booklice (also sometimes referred to as Psocids) Small insects (1.5 – 7mm) with a domed postclypeus (the area at the front of the head between antennae and mouth); long filiform antennae; simple wing venation with two ‘triangular’ cells at tip of forewing; tendency to run rather than fly. Winged barkflies usually hold their wings tent-wise over their abdomens like miniature lacewings. These species can be confused with Psyllids but can be distinguished by gently touching them – psyllids jump away, barkflies don’t. Stenopsocus immaculatus – a common species in Beds. Note the strongly domed postclypeus and long filiform antennae Barkflies - Variations on a theme Some species don’t have full-sized (macropterous) wings but have them much reduced (brachypterous) or absent (apterous). They can be confused with springtails (which however will jump away when touched). Cerobasis guestfalica has been Embidopsocus enderleini recorded from several Beds sites An uncommon species not (yet) found in Beds Available Resources • Excellent British Barkflies website which via the gallery has been brilliant in facilitating identification of this group making them accessible to all. • 2005 RES Handbook is also very good. • Keith Alexander who runs the National Recording Scheme is very helpful. Graphopsocus cruciatus – a common and distinctive Bedfordshire species THE 2005 RES handbook is also excellent with keys that are much easier to follow than many mycological ones ! …….. A Stereo zoom binocular microscope is very useful though not essential ….. …….It is remarkable what can be achieved with the aid of digital photography !! Stenopsocus immaculatus PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES 98 British spp in total of which 69 live outdoors, the rest are synanthropic.

  • Someries Castle
    TRANSACTIONS. O 45 31 BY THE REV. H. FOWLER, M.A. A few remarks on the ancient associations of this parish may perhaps be suitable as an introduction to our subject. It appears that the earliest notice of Luton is that in the Anglo-Saxon chronicle under the date 571. In that year, it states, Cuthwolf, who was brother of Ceawlin, King of the West Saxons, fought against the Britons at Bedcanford (i.e. Bedford), and took from them four towns ; one of these was AEgelsburig, or Aylesbury, and another Ligeanburg. Ligeanburg has been con- sidered to be the same locality as Lygetune, mentioned in a charter of King Offa ; and this is, undoubtedly, Luton. Ligeanburg or Lygetune means the town on the Lygea, the river now called the Lea. There is a hamlet, formerly called Lygebury, now Limbury ; this perpetuates the name of the British town ; it is on the Lea, about two miles north-west of the modern Luton. The British town itself I take to be a large circular earthwork existing in Leagrave Marsh, about three- quarters of a mile east from Limbury (I am quoting the description in Davis' History of Luton). Its area is about thirty acres, and it is close to the Icknield-way. We may, I think, call this the British Luton. (Davis, however, supposes it to be a Roman camp.) The 32 S. ALBANS ARCHITECTURAL & ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. fighting which preceded its capture, seems to have taken place along a branch of Watling Street, passing through Toddington, Chalgrave, and Chalton.
